Trying for a 2016 baby

Hello ladies, I just popped by to greet everyone.

MrsR, welcome , i see its been a long journey for you. how many dpo are you? They say it takes up to 17 or more dpo before you get a bfp.... Some women don't even get it for weeks after their last period.

@Inca, sorry about AF but like you mentioned there is a positive side to all of this. Good luck

Yay for a beautiful cervix Nikita! LoL

I reckon doing the non-invasive tests first sounds like a good idea.

As far as I know, the progesterone test is most commonly known as the day 21 test, so you go on CD 21. I do know some gynae's seem to send on CD 22 or 23 though, so maybe it depends on cycle length? I'm sure you can phone the gynae office and ask. Sure she won't mind.

Hi Ladies,

So went to the gynaecologist, must stay that I really like her. she did an internal scan and according to her I have a beautiful cervix that just made my day DH needs to go for a SA and I have to go for a progesterone test and a laparoscopic "surgery" to check if my tubes are fine (no blockages) and to check for endometriosis and cant remember if there was something else.
how do you work out when you have to go for a progesterone test? She told me but I forgot.....
I will discuss all of this with DH tonight (think I need a glass of wine)
Not sure if we should do the SA and progesterone tests firs and wait and then only do the laparoscopy . Will see what DH says

Hi All,

I'm new to this. Also trying for a 2016 baby but we have been TTC for 13 months now.
I have PCOS and have cut out sugar in the last 6 weeks and I have also been having minimal carbs. the weightloss has begun.
in the last 2-3 weeks I have been feeling really down though with nausea, indigestion and been extremely tired.
over the last 3 days I have had the most insane amount of gas.
AF is not due for another week and last night I had light pink spotting that turned into brown this morning. after that there has been no spotting at all. I also had full on AF cramps this morning. But that has all disappeared now.
I did a clearblue digital test this morning and it was negative.
Does anyone else have similar problems with PCOS and TTC.
My FS has prescribed Femara for my next cycle but I wanted to hold on with that until I drop a little more weight.
sorry if there is TMI.
I just need some guidance and sometimes prefer not to speak to DH because when its confirmed a BFN I hate seeing the disappointment on his face.

Lots of baby dust to all

@ Nikita. I think it is a good idea to take all test results and your chart with if you chart. On my first visit the Gyni asked my last 3-4 cycle days and how long AF normal is etc. If you can give him as much info as possible it will help together with the blood tests to give him an overall picture. Good Luck and lets us know how it goes.

@ Chanti, before Fertomid my temp did a dip before oculation and then spiked up but only by a few degrees. On all my 3 rounds of Fertomid I had a pre ovulation dip and then a good temp spike but out of the 3 rounds I only ovulated twice so go figure. My temp rise doesn't necessary mean I ovulated or had a good ovulation
Sorry that you spotting.

@ Zelly, OPK confuse the out of me and they stress me out more as last cycle I had 5 +OPK days in a row. I am on a 26 day cycle and ovulated on CD14 or so I think...

@ Mrs Smith, sorry that you are feeling so down and I totally understand and with you. We try so hard trying to figure out when we ovulate with OPK, temp, CM and then time BD'ing and still get a BFN. It is really all out of our hands and sometimes it gets to us as we feel hopeless to do anything. Hang in there

@ Inca, ai sorry the witch got you! I am also 26 days

@ Ninies, how are you, must be gearing up to O soon! GL

AFM, I am on CD11 and fell pretty good, no ovulation symptoms yet but looking to O about Sunday or Monday but honestly it is a guessing game for me Have one OPK to think that I am going to use it on Sunday at CD13

Morning Ladies,

It is Friday!!!!

@Inca - Sorry that AF arrived on your side. But goodnews that your cycles are regulating now.

@Nikita - Good luck at the Gyni today! I hope you get all your answers and more.

@Mrs Smith - I feel the same as you do. One could not help but hope once O has passed. You say: Why would it be any different than the previous month 18 months? But then again Why could it not be different? Only time will tell!

@TheMrs - so good to see you again. You know what they say: When you are not trying it will happen.

I still have some dull O pains, and had another drop in temp this morning. I did another OPK this morning and it was negative. If Temp goes up tomorrow I suppose O date will be today which is CD12 and a bit early for O.

@Jay-bee - how are you doing?

@Mrs Smith - I really dislike that hopeful feeling
It feels like it breaks a piece of you every time AF arrives.
Personally I think that it is good to take a break now and then. Just to clear your head and get your focus right.
It is a strange place to be.
Just keep positive, that is all that we can do
